Psychotherapy for the Channel Islands, online
Jersey and Guernsey are built on private wealth: trust and fund administration, private banking, law and offshore finance. It is a discreet, high-earning world lived on small islands, where everyone is known and privacy is hard to protect. Dr Philippe Jacquet offers specialist English-speaking psychotherapy to the Channel Islands online, with the same clinical depth as at his Harley Street practice.
A private, highly specialised practice
This is a private, highly specialised practice, not general counselling. The expertise is consultant level: a Doctorate of Professional Practice, Hazelden training and more than 20 years of EMDR, for complex presentations such as addiction, eating disorders, trauma and executive burnout. No waiting list, free choice of therapist, and absolute confidentiality.
Why the islands are different
Island life concentrates the pressures of finance and adds one of its own: there is nowhere to be anonymous. Seeing a local therapist can feel impossible when you might meet them at the school gate or across a boardroom the following week. Working online, confidentially, with a specialist in London removes that problem entirely, which is exactly why many islanders prefer it.
The hidden cost of success
High earning and hard driving carry their own risks: the drinking that follows the deal, the compulsive control of food and the gym, the anxiety masked by performance. These are the presentations this practice treats, discreetly and without judgement. Nothing is shared with an employer, firm or third party without your explicit consent.
International health insurance, or private
Many internationally mobile clients are covered by global private health plans, designed for exactly this kind of specialist care. Dr Jacquet works with major insurers including Bupa, Cigna, AXA and Aviva, and his training is international: the Hazelden Foundation in the United States, a Master's and Doctorate in the United Kingdom, and executive coaching at ESSEC in Paris. If you prefer to pay privately, without insurance, that is equally welcome; the work is exactly the same.
Common questions
Do you see clients in Jersey and Guernsey?
Yes. Dr Philippe Jacquet works with clients across the Channel Islands online by secure video, with the same clinical depth as at his Harley Street practice.
Why work online rather than with a local therapist?
On small islands, anonymity is almost impossible. Working online with a specialist in London removes the risk of meeting your therapist socially or professionally, which is why many islanders prefer it.
What do you treat?
Addiction, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety and depression, and executive burnout, particularly among finance, trust and legal professionals.
Is it confidential?
Strictly. Nothing is disclosed to an employer, firm or third party without your explicit consent.
